Galaxy coordinate is the place where your planets are situated. The Planet number can be from 1 to 15 (Your first planet is beeing choosen by chance - any other colony you create by a colony ship can be created by preferences) ... There are 5 Galaxies with 500 Solar Systems in each one and 15 places for planets in each Solar System ... That is a Galaxy coordinate - [2:450:3] - Second Galaxy, Solar System #450, 3rd Planet !
It depends by many factors ... First of all it depends on the speed of the ship ! You can see how much gas consumes, what is the speed, the prize and other parameters by choosing "Technics" ==> "Ships" and click on a single ship's picture ! So before you send a ship to a mission you enter the coordinates and it shows you the distance and for how long you get there ... Now comes this :
1.Hyperspeed engines increase your base speed of a ship with 10 % for each level
2.Jet engines - again with 10 % faster on the base speed with each level
3.Impulse systems increases with 20% the base speed of your ship for each level
4.Ultraspeed - the same as the Impulse systems - 20 %
Let's take the Scout for example :
Base speed - Speed: 12500
You need 1st level Jet engines to build it ... 12500 * 10/100 = 1250 ... 12500 + 1250 = 13750
If you have 2 levels Jet engines 1250 * 2 = 2500 ... 12500 + 2500 = 15000
And let's say one level Impulse systems : 12500 * 20/100 = 1250 * 2 = 2500 ... 12500 + 2500 = 15000 (plus the 20 % from the Jet eng.) + 2500 = 17500
[quote=""mayaman""]Is this true for Uni3
1. Shields
every level gives you
+5% on Structure for Ships and Turrets
2. Weapon Systems
every level gives you
+10% on Attackpower for Ships and Turrets
3. Ship Armour
every level gives you
+5% on Structure for Ships and Turrets[/quote]
No, I think that it is valid only for Universe 2 ... In Uni 3 yeap the bonuses improve the structure of the turrets but the values are different ... The Shields : "When upgrading this research, the percentage of all armors increases (doesn't depend on the armor type). With every upper level the efficiency increases with 5% from the base."
Weapon System +5% for each level
Ship Armour +5% of the base structure increases
[quote=""mayaman""]What is the benefit of Trade Center per level?[/quote]
Well for each level you can see on "Market" that the proportion of trading resources is getting smaller
For the Ground level (0) the proportion is :
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
1.11 crystals 1.25 metal 1.21 metal
1.00 gas 1.11 gas 1.18 crystals
First Level
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
1.25 crystals 1.43 metal 1.43 metal
1.11 gas 1.25 gas 1.43 crystals
Second Level
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
1.43 crystals 1.67 metal 1.67 metal
1.25 gas 1.43 gas 1.67 crystals
Third Level
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
1.67 crystals 2.00 metal 2.00 metal
1.43 gas 1.67 gas 2.00 crystals
Forth Level
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
2.00 crystals 2.50 metal 2.50 metal
1.67 gas 2.00 gas 2.50 crystals
Fifth Level
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
2.50 crystals 3.33 metal 3.33 metal
2.00 gas 2.50 gas 3.33 crystals
Sixth Level
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
3.33 crystals 5.00 metal 5.00 metal
2.50 gas 3.33 gas 5.00 crystals
Leve Seven (last)
for 10 Metal for 10 Crystals for 10 Gas
5.00 crystals 10.00 metal 10.00 metal
3.33 gas 5.00 gas 10.00 crystals
And Plus ... When you build up to level Seven ... You can buy and sell ships in the Intergalactic Ship Market (not sure if it's introduced in Uni 2 but I guess so)
[quote=""mayaman""]Should i join Alliance? Is there any advantages?
The only advantage i can see is that when your under attack someone within your coefficient can help you... (though this can happen even when your are not allies)
Disadvantage, if an enemy is in alliance war he will have motivation...[/quote]
You are very right on this one

... Except for Universe Speed it is good to know that you can ask someone to collect your recycle filed after a big battle or somethin' ... any time !

This one depends on you
[quote=""mayaman""]Is it possible two or more attackers arrive at your coordinate at the same time?
If it is, will they join forces to destroy you? Or one will be the priority... Finish the battle then the next attacker will attack...[/quote]
First one ... Then the other - They will not join forces. I give you that

But it is possible to arrive at the same time ... They must be really good synchronizers to do that, so don't worry ...
[quote=""mayaman""]If it says it move by date - time from 1:1:5
when the date - time comes will it move to 1:1:6?
then i should compute and estimate that my recycler will astropolate on the coordinate in the same time that the asteriod is there... right?
e.g. asteriod will come to 1:1:7 by 00:59am and i'll send my recycler at it will arrive at 1:00am at 1;1:7[/quote]
Absolutely right ... I don't think you need my help on this one !
Well ... on your last request of answer ... You must of miscalculated something ... Happens all the time to me

! If it says it will move at 2008-06-06 23:26:01, so it will be on the next coordinate exactly in that hour ... If you notice another earlier changing ... Let me know - it must be something wrong ! Otherwise you've got the picture perfectly right ... !
Good night from me ... It's getting late and Hope I've been useful
